98 dodge ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab 265/75/16 5.9L.
I was getting 10.5 before all the work listed below.
New Catalytic Converter
New O2 Sensors (both).
 
Also, had done, but not really attributing to any change in MPG was...
transmission rebuild, new front bearings and new u-joints.
 
This truck is the biggest POS I have ever owned, no, wait, the DODGE RAMPAGE I used to own is tied for the worst.
 
This truck breaks constantly. I only commute 25miles round trip daily and I don't tow or go off road, and I never beat on it. Granted all things break over a period of time, but its all at once. 2nd Gen RAMS are horrible if they have over 80K on them, then you have to go through and do all the work to keep them going.
 
I have put $6000 in less than 1 yr of repairs in to it.
 
but I get about the same MPG now as a Hemi would.

Mileage comparison by xscout

After looking at the EPA mileage estimates, it looks like a Ram 1500 3.7 with manual gets about the same mileage as a Chevy 1500 4.3 manual, Dakota 3.7 manual, and Ford Ranger 3.0 and 4.0 manual. Is this really accurate considering the size and weight differences between these trucks?

Fuel Mileage in 2003 Dodge 1500 Laramie w/5.7L Hemi by jollypopper

We recently inherited a very nice 2003 Dodge 1500 Laramie with a 5.7L Hemi. The vehicle has just under 50,000 miles and runs beautifully, but the fuel mileage seems atrocious. What kind of mileage can we realistically expect from this vehicle?

Doesn't seem to be much activity on this forum considering the topic! I'm not sure what mileage you should expect on your Dodge but remember a 5.7 liter is about equivalent to a 350 cubic inch V8, not a small engine! I do remember seeing window stickers on a new Dakota quad cab V6 auto and a new Ram 1500 quad cab 5.7 V8 auto and there was only a one mpg difference between them.
